WHO
WE ARE

The Philadelphia Cultural Fund is how the City of Philadelphia has funded the arts since 1994.

WHO
WE ARE

Each year, PCF provides operating support to Philadelphia-based arts and culture organizations. These grants are made from an allocation to PCF from the City budget.

WHO
WE ARE

The grants support organizations dedicated to the creation, education, preservation, exhibition, and presentation of a variety of arts and culture disciplines.

WHO
WE ARE

PCF is committed to removing barriers to grant applications, especially for small, community-based arts organizations that are traditionally considered ineligible for funding support.
